LASER SYSTEM

The line tunable laser system comes packaged in an aluminum housing which contains all of the
components of the system. The housing is equipped with a sliding beam attenuator (or shutter)
mounted to the front panel. The shutter assembly has four each 4-40 Unified National Course
Thread (UNC) holes to secure the optional accessory mounting ring. The ring (part number 30646),
which is available for purchase from Research Electro-Optics, incorporates 1" diameter, 32
threads-per-inch (TPI) female threads. The back panel of the laser system contains the key-switch,
remote interlock connector, fuse access, the color adjustment knobs, and a three-foot long power
cord for connecting to either 115 VAC (System Model Number 30602) or 230 VAC (System Model
Number 30603) input power.
